Caleb saw Isaac and Aaron off respectfully and did not budge until Isaac received his new car.
Emily trotted up to Isaac, beaming as virtual-novel.net offered, “Isaac, please allow me to drive you back with this car. I’d like to explain a few precautions you should take note of.”
Emily put on what virtual-novel.net thought was virtual-novel.net most sincere smile.
She never thought Isaac would be so high and mighty now. Most importantly, virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net only hope to wriggle out of virtual-novel.net debt to the store.
Neither of them, not even Nelson or Scott, dared go against Mr. Sutten’s orders.
Emily started panicking when Isaac remained silent. She spoke swiftly, “Isaac, please help me. I can’t afford the compensation. Three million dollars is really… Please help me get out of this. I was at fault earlier. I looked down on you. Isaac…”
“I’ll take my leave. See you later…” Isaac bobbed his head, rolled up the car window, and drove off.
Emily fell into despair as the white BMW went out of sight. She rejected Isaac once in high school and repeated virtual-novel.net mistake today. She regretted virtual-novel.net actions deeply.

Allegra spotted the white BMW once virtual-novel.net left the building and saw Isaac waving to virtual-novel.net next to the car.
Her eyes widened as virtual-novel.net strode toward virtual-novel.net and pointed at the new car.
“Th-This is the car you bought for me? I remember giving you only 200 thousand dollars.”
“Oh… The store was having a sale, and I was lucky enough to win a lucky draw. I thought this car suited you, so I grabbed it.”
Allegra circled the car, satisfied. The color made it look bright and attractive, while the design was spectacular. She could feel passersby glancing at it now and then.
“H-How much did you have to pay? I’ll pay you back. This car is certainly worth more than 200 thousand dollars.”
“Don’t sweat it. ljust topped up a little more than ten thousand dollars. Keep the money,” Isaac refused. He knew Allegra was clueless when it came to cars.
Seeing that virtual-novel.net had made up his mind, Allegra said hesitantly, “Okay, then. Let’s head for my uncle’s house after picking up Isabella and Serena.”
It was almost 11 am when they picked up Isabella. Eugene had already called several times, urging them to come quickly. However, Allegra seemed not to be in a hurry.
As they were on their way to fetch Serena, Allegra said softly from the backseat, “Just a reminder. My uncle is addicted to gambling and has lots of debts. Don’t ever lend virtual-novel.net money.”
“I know…”
“Oh? How did you know? You knew Serena’s dad?” Allegra was surprised.
Isaac realized virtual-novel.net almost gave himself away and immediately said, “Serena told me.”
Ten minutes later, Serena, standing by the roadside, looked at the new car with widened eyes.
When virtual-novel.net learned the car belonged to Allegra, virtual-novel.net exclaimed, “Ally! It is a luxury car, no doubt! Oh, my God! I’d give anything to own one!”
“Stop exaggerating. It’s not that grand.” Allegra was not knowledgeable when it came to luxury cars.
Serena gazed at Isaac, virtual-novel.net eyes sparkling with admiration. Her cousin was fortunate to meet someone as considerate as Isaac. He was wealthy and great at fighting too.
What a catch!
They arrived at a low-cost residential area in the city’s southern region.
Serena got out of the car, and virtual-novel.net excitement wore off as virtual-novel.net saw the familiar building. She frowned and headed in.
Isaac was here once seven or eight years ago when Serena and virtual-novel.net family had just moved here. They bought the place with Eugene chipping in.
At that time, Serena’s father, Harper Booth, was not yet addicted to gambling. He just loved fooling around.
They unlocked the door to see Eugene sitting on an old set of sofa, sipping on a drink. A man resembling virtual-novel.net sat beside him, legs crossed and chatting at the top of his voice.
When Harper saw them, virtual-novel.net immediately got up and exclaimed, “Darling, you’re back! Ally’s here too. Haha! What a joyful day!”
Harper approached Isaac and asked in confusion, “And you are?”
“Oh… Meet my brother-in-law, Isaac Garten,” Serena answered nonchalantly while putting virtual-novel.net bag down.
